Juventus and Sevilla are set to trade tackles in the first leg of their mouth-watering Europa League semi-final tie at the Allianz Stadium. After a 2-1 aggregate victory over Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League quarter-finals helped Juventus reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2013/14, ‘I Bianconeri’ aim to go one better and win the competition for the first time since 1992/93. Massimiliano Allegri’s men have rediscovered form after a five-match winless run in all competitions (D2, L3), winning their last two Serie A games by an aggregate score of 4-1. The record-time Europa League champions boast a flawless home record in the Europa League, having gone unbeaten in all 12 of their previous outings in Turin (W5, D7) while keeping six clean sheets in the process. Topically, Juventus have won back-to-back Europa League home matches by an identical 1-0 scoreline after a 1-1 draw with Nantes in the knockout playoff round. On the other hand, visiting Sevilla proved their continental credentials by dispatching Premier League heavyweights Manchester United 5-2 on aggregate in the quarter-finals. Despite experiencing an underwhelming La Liga campaign by their standards, ‘Los Rojiblancos’ can draw confidence from a 100% win ratio in their five previous Europa League semi-final appearances. Moreover, the Spaniards have won their last six meetings with Serie A clubs in the Europa League, with each match-up coming in the knockout stages. If that’s not encouraging enough, since Jose Luis Mendilibar’s appointment at the start of April, the Andalusian giants have only lost one of their nine outings in all competitions (W6, D2). They most recently came from a 2-1 halftime deficit to beat Espanyol 3-2 at home last weekend. The post Juventus vs Sevilla appeared first on Bet888win. via Blogger Juventus vs Sevilla

The first Champions League edition of the famous Derby della Madonnina pits AC Milan and Inter Milan against each other at the Stadio San Siro in the first leg of their mouth-watering semi-final tie. After a runner-up finish to Chelsea in Group E helped Milan reach the Champions League knockouts for the first time since 2013/14, they could now make it to their first grand final since lifting the trophy in 2006/07. Stefano Pioli’s men have ousted Tottenham Hotspur and Napoli in the last two knockout rounds, conceding just once across four legs. More importantly, since a woeful 3-1 away defeat to Udinese in Serie A two months ago, ‘I Rossoneri’ have gone unbeaten in nine consecutive games in all competitions (W4, D5), including a crucial 2-0 home triumph over Lazio in last weekend’s top-four six-pointer. However, after beating Inter 3-2 in their first encounter of the 2022/23 campaign, they’ve lost both subsequent H2Hs without scoring. With that in mind, high-flying Inter Milan will take the field in high spirits, especially after a 2-0 victory at Roma last weekend extended their winning streak in all competitions to five matches. Simone Inzaghi’s lads were nothing short of convincing in that period, winning each game by a multi-goal margin, contributing an overwhelming aggregate score of 16-1. Following a runner-up finish to Bayern Munich in Group C, ‘I Nerazzuri’ have overcome Primeira Liga heavyweights Porto and Benfica in the last two Champions League knockout rounds to set up their first semi-final appearance since their triumphant 2009/10 season. Defensive resilience has been Inter’s hallmark this season as they’ve racked up six clean sheets in ten Champions League outings and could make it seven in a single campaign for the first time. The post AC Milan vs Inter Milan appeared first on Bet888win. via Blogger AC Milan vs Inter Milan Estadio Santiago Bernabeu is the venue as Real Madrid and Manchester City go head-to-head in the first leg of their blockbuster Champions League semi-final tie. After practically surrendering domestic supremacy to arch-rivals Barcelona, Real Madrid found some consolation in beating Osasuna 2-1 in last weekend’s Copa del Rey semi-final to set themselves up nicely for this encounter. Even though Madrid’s indifferent four-game form in all competitions (W2, L2) doesn’t inspire much confidence, Carlo Ancelotti’s men can find inspiration in their outrageous run of 13 wins from their last 16 European outings on home turf (D1, L2). Indeed, ‘Los Merengues’ have won all five home matches in this season’s Champions League, including four via multi-goal margins. Furthermore, since Mohamed Salah’s strike in Madrid’s scintillating 5-2 romping of Liverpool in the first leg of their last-16 tie, the Spaniards have gone 346 minutes of Champions League action without conceding. On the other hand, Manchester City’s never-ending pursuit of a maiden Champions League crown has seen them go unbeaten in all ten European fixtures this term (W6, D4), including back-to-back multi-goal aggregate wins over Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig in the opening two knockout rounds. However, it’s worth noting that four of Man City’s five away matches in this season’s Champions League have ended level (W1), with each draw featuring under 2.5 goals, highlighting the potential for a cagey, low-scoring affair. But in addition to seeking amends for last season’s heartbreaking semi-final exit at the hands of Madrid, the ‘Citizens’ could make history this midweek. After a 2-1 triumph in February 2020, Pep Guardiola’s team could become the first English side to beat ‘Los Merengues’ away from home in the Champions League on multiple occasions. The post Real Madrid vs Manchester City appeared first on Bet888win. via Blogger Real Madrid vs Manchester City Stadio Olimpico is the venue as Roma and Inter Milan face each other in a mouth-watering Serie A top-four six-pointer. After a gut-wrenching 1-1 draw at Monza in midweek condemned his side to a third consecutive winless match in Serie A (D2, L1), Roma boss Jose Mourinho lashed out at the referees, which puts him at risk of missing out on Inter’s visit this weekend. Despite dropping out of the top six altogether, ‘I Giallorossi’ are still firmly in the race of a first top-four finish since 2018/19, with only two points separating them from fourth-placed Inter at the start of this round. As such, only a victory would do for the hosts, who came from behind to post a 2-1 triumph in the reverse fixture, meaning they could beat Inter in back-to-back Serie A H2Hs for the first time since February 2017. Defensive resilience will be crucial, as each of Roma’s seven home league wins in 2023 has yielded a clean sheet (D1, L1). On the other hand, visiting Inter took advantage of their top-four rivals’ midweek slip-ups to move two points clear in a coveted fourth spot with a blockbuster 6-0 romping of relegation-battling Hellas Verona on the road. That result forms part of Inter’s eye-catching run of three successive wins away from home in all competitions, all of which came by 2+ goals ‘to nil.’ Since a 2-1 defeat in April 2016, ‘I Nerazzurri’ have gone unbeaten on their last five top-flight visits to the Olimpico to take on Roma (W2, D3), including a scintillating 3-0 victory in this corresponding fixture in 2021/22. But Simone Inzaghi’s men cannot rest easy yet, knowing they had conceded precisely twice in their three previous Serie A H2Hs in Rome. The post Roma vs Inter Milan appeared first on Bet888win. via Blogger Roma vs Inter Milan In-form Liverpool will be looking to continue their outrageous Premier League form when they take on Brentford at Anfield this weekend. A hard-fought 1-0 home triumph over Fulham in midweek saw Liverpool string together five Premier League wins for the first time in 2022/23, moving them within a four-point distance of fourth-placed Manchester United. But securing another top-four finish still looks unlikely, especially with United boasting a game in hand, highlighting the significance of avenging a 3-1 defeat reverse defeat against Brentford. Anfield is traditionally a perfect venue to help Liverpool get the result they need, as evidenced by the Reds’ emphatic record of 12 wins in 17 home league matches this season (D4, L1). On top of that, Jurgen Klopp’s men have a track record of finishing strong, with an impressive tally of 12 victories in their last 13 matches during the month of May (D1). In the meantime, visiting Brentford have turned the corner in the build-up to this contest, going from six consecutive Premier League games without winning (D3, L3) to back-to-back victories over bottom-half teams Chelsea and Nottingham Forest. With seventh-placed Tottenham Hotspur only four points away at the beginning of this round, the ‘Bees’ still believe in their chances of securing a first-ever European finish. But defying a disappointing four-match form on the road (W1, D1, L2) needs to be addressed, which doesn’t look likely. Indeed, Thomas Frank’s men have collected just two wins in their 14 Premier League encounters against sides starting the round in the top five of the table (D5, L7). That record includes a thumping 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in this corresponding fixture last season. The post Liverpool vs Brentford appeared first on Bet888win. via Blogger Liverpool vs Brentford BayArena is the venue as high-flying Bayer Leverkusen continue their pursuit of a top-six Bundesliga finish against Cologne. With a mouth-watering Europa League semi-final tie against Roma waiting in the wings, Bayer Leverkusen will relish their rich vein of form, having avoided defeat in their last 14 outings in all competitions (W10, D4). Lifting the second-most prominent European title could be Leverkusen’s only route into next season’s Champions League after a scoreless draw at Union Berlin last time out left them eight points behind the Bundesliga top four. Nonetheless, Xabi Alonso’s men have gone from strength to strength at the BayArena since a 3-2 loss to Mainz in mid-February, winning their last four home league matches, including three via multi-goal margins. It’s also worth noting that before succumbing to a 1-0 defeat in this corresponding fixture in 2021/22, ‘Die Werkself’ had won three consecutive top-flight H2Hs on home turf, highlighting their confidence going into this showdown. On the other hand, visiting Cologne saw their decent-looking four-match unbeaten Bundesliga run (W2, D2) halted at the hands of Freiburg last weekend (0-1). But with seven points separating them from the relegation zone at the commencement of this round, the visitors are safe and sound in mid-table comforts, largely thanks to their mini-revival on the road. After going winless on ten Bundesliga travels between September 2022 and March 2023 (D4, L6), Steffen Bamugart’s men have won back-to-back games away from home via an identical 3-1 scoreline. Baumgart is on a personal mission here after managing just one win in his six previous touchline encounters against Leverkusen (D1, L4). Achieving that feat would see the ‘Billy Goats’ string together three straight away wins in the Bundesliga for the first time since 1996. The post Bayer Leverkusen vs Cologne appeared first on Bet888win. via Blogger Bayer Leverkusen vs Cologne Amex Stadium forms the backdrop for a high-stakes Premier League encounter between high-flying Brighton & Hove Albion and top-four-bound Manchester United. Despite resting several first-team stars, Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi oversaw an emphatic 6-0 home triumph over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the weekend, bolstering the club’s hopes of securing a first-ever European qualification. Heading into the season’s run-in, the ‘Seagulls’ trail sixth-placed Aston Villa by two points, yet with three games in hand, they’re in a prime position to a coveted European finish. Playing at the Amex will add to Brighton’s confidence after they’ve won three of their last four home league outings (D1), netting an intimidating average of 3.5 goals per game in the process. On top of that, the hosts have emerged victorious in three of their four most recent midweek Premier League match-ups (L1), while they thrashed Man Utd 4-0 in this corresponding fixture in 2021/22. In the meantime, Man Utd’s 1-0 home triumph over Villa last weekend put them in cruising control of their top-four fate, moving Erik ten Hag’s team seven points clear of fifth-placed Liverpool at the start of this round. With a game in hand, the ‘Red Devils’ should stroll to a third top-four finish in four seasons, yet their form woes on the road require immediate attention. They have claimed just one win on their last 13 Premier League travels to take on sides from the upper half of the table (D3, L9). Moreover, among clubs fighting for European qualification in the Premier League, only Tottenham Hotspur (35) have conceded more away goals than Man Utd (31) this term. Things are unlikely to improve at the Amex, where they’ve lost three of their five previous top-flight meetings with Brighton (W2). The post Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United appeared first on Bet888win. via Blogger Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United High-flying Liverpool will be looking to consolidate their European quest when they meet mid-table Fulham in a midweek Premier League showdown. After a nerve-shredding 4-3 home win over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend extended Liverpool’s winning run in the Premier League to four matches, another qualification for Europe looks like a near-certainty. In the midst of the team’s richest vein of form in 2023, the ‘Reds’ are looking to avenge a gut-wrenching 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture against Fulham and arrest an underwhelming three-match winless H2H streak against them in the Premier League (D2, L1). Jurgen Klopp’s men have thrived in midweek fixtures in recent years, racking up an eye-catching 14 victories in their last 16 such match-ups in the top flight (D1, L1), including all seven wins at Anfield. On top of that, May traditionally suits Liverpool, as they’ve won 11 of their last 12 Premier League outings played this month (D1). In the meantime, Fulham’s form wobble in the Premier League continued last weekend as Manchester City squeezed past Marco Silva’s team 2-1, condemning them to a sixth defeat in their previous eight league matches (W2). The upcoming trip to Anfield could deepen the crisis, considering the ‘Cottagers’ have suffered seven losses in their last eight away league encounters against sides placed better than them in the table (W1). If that’s not enough to dampen the spirits in the visiting camp, an abysmal run of four defeats across their last five competitive travels (W1) could finish the job. Connoisseurs of action-packed football could still relish this contest, considering four of those five Fulham trips witnessed over 2.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet. The post Liverpool vs Fulham appeared first on Bet888win. via Blogger Liverpool vs Fulham Emirates Stadium forms the backdrop for a blockbuster all-London Premier League match-up between title-bidding Arsenal and downtrodden Chelsea. Arsenal’s pursuit of a first Premier League title in almost two decades suffered a knockout blow last week as Manchester City dismantled Mikel Arteta’s side 4-1 in a ‘top-table six-pointer,’ condemning them to a gut-wrenching four-match winless league run (D3, L1). Growing defensive issues have rendered Arsenal’s title hopes far-fetched, with the ‘Gunners’ now conceding 2+ goals in four consecutive Premier League outings for the first time this season. Speaking of the hosts’ vulnerability at the back, only basement boys Southampton have registered fewer home clean sheets in the Premier League this season than Arsenal (3). But they’ve fared well against Chelsea in recent match-ups, winning twice in a row to open up an avenue to three straight H2H wins in the Premier League for the first time since 2004. In the meantime, interim boss Frank Lampard cannot catch a break, with his out-of-sorts Chelsea side coming into proceedings off the back of five competitive losses via an aggregate score of 9-1. Winless in their last six Premier League contests (D2, L4), the ‘Pensioners’ may have to reconcile with a first bottom-half finish since 1995/96 unless they can turn the corner down the final stretch. But considering they’ll take the field amid the club’s worst losing streak since 1993, even a point at the Emirates, where they won this corresponding fixture in 2021/22, could be a resounding success. Ominously, though, Chelsea’s abysmal run of form of nine losses from their last 13 travels (W1, D3) sees them stare down the barrel of 20 competitive defeats in a single season for the first time since 1987/88. The post Arsenal vs Chelsea appeared first on Bet888win. via Blogger Arsenal vs Chelsea Real Valladolid and Atletico Madrid are set to square off at the Estadio Jose Zorrilla in a lopsided La Liga contest. Real Valladolid’s margin to the relegation zone has decreased from five to four points after a crucial 2-1 defeat against fellow contenders Valencia, leading to the end of their joint-longest unbeaten run in this La Liga (LL) season, which had lasted for three games (W2, D1). The newly appointed coach, Paulo Pezzolano, expressed disappointment and frustration as Valencia’s Javi Guerra scored a 90th-minute goal, denying them a valuable point that could have altered their position. Back to the Estadio Jose Zorrilla, where they’ve lost just one of their last six La Liga matches (W3, D2), Valladolid will be seeking amends for a midweek heartbreak. But considering they’ve suffered defeats in five of their six most recent top-flight home meetings with Atletico (D1), redemption looks highly unlikely. In the meantime, Atletico Madrid fought back from a goal down to beat Mallorca 2-1 in midweek La Liga action, bouncing back from a frustrating 1-0 loss at Barcelona last weekend. Since that remains their only lost in 15 top-flight matches since mid-January (W11, D3), it’s no wonder ‘Los Colchoneros’ start this round 13 points clear of fifth-placed Villarreal, with an 11th straight top-four finish looking like a near-certainty. If if they drop points as they’ve done only twice on their last six La Liga travels (W4, D1, L1), the visitors should remain in cruising control of their Champions League ambitions. However, Diego Simeone’s men have reigned supreme against Valladolid of late, racking up an eye-catching 12 wins in their last 13 top-flight H2Hs (D1).
